Setting ui_choicelist value

[fraser_thomson]

Hey guys,

I'm currently creating a UI page and using <g:ui_choicelist>, the parameters I have are name, table and field.

I was wondering if there was a way to set the value of this choicelist? It always defaults to the first in sequence?

Thanks

Hi Fraser,

I have a ui page where i did create a dropdown, its the simple HTML code and its working just fine:

<select id="approvers" onchange="test()" style="width:200px">

<option value=''> -- None --   </option>

<option value='a'> A   </option>

<option value='b'> B   </option>

</select>

Hi Anurag,

Thank you for your reply.
I am trying to use the choicelist(s) defined on a table elsewhere, I have considered manually creating an HTML drop down but using ui_choicelist would save me some lines of code for that as there will be a few!

in my code also the choice values are not hardcoded, its coming from db only...here is the full code

<g:evaluate jelly="true" object="true">

        var GR = new GlideAggregate("<table name>");

        GR.addQuery("<field name>", '${sysparm_sysID}');

        GR.groupBy("<field name>");

        GR.query();

      </g:evaluate>

<tr align="center">

<td id="description" align="right" >Select Approval Name:</td>

<td id="approvers" >

<select id="abc" onchange="test()" style="width:200px">

<option value=''> -- None --   </option>

<j:while test="${GR.next()}">

    <option value = "${GR.<field 1>},${GR.<field 2>}" > ${GR.<display field>} </option>

</j:while>

  </select>

  </td>

        </tr>

Thanks, I've tried using the HTML select just to see if it works.
Only problem is <option value="" selected> </option> doesn't seem to be working, does Jelly not support preselected values for the dropdowns?
